Texas HB2337 allows the state to accept concurrent jurisdiction over U.S. military installations.
Texas HB2337 amends the Government Code to allow the governor to accept concurrent jurisdiction over U.S. military installations in Texas. The governor can accept jurisdiction upon written application from an authorized U.S. representative, provided the application includes specific details such as the subject matter of jurisdiction and descriptions of the land. The establishment of concurrent jurisdiction requires the governor's written acceptance and filing of documents with the secretary of state. The state can also enter into agreements with federal officers to coordinate jurisdiction.
